Their Sandwich de Bistec is also one for the books. Thinly sliced beef steak stopped with caramelized onions in refried beans on French bread. This take on a po’boy is certainly going to make you a customer for life.

But the star of the show at this humble restaurant is the NolaNica Burger. Topped with fried cheese, sweet plantains and a creamy slaw all in between a yummy toasted coconut bun, this is one of the most unique burgers around New Orleans.

Luckily, they have two locations, one in Kenner and one in the CBD area of New Orleans.
